Did Bach Flower Essences Cure His Gout?

Last week I told you about a friend who was suffering from gout.

I had talked him into considering the cause. According to Hay's book, Heal Your Body, it was impatience and anger, which he knew he had.

Then I convinced him to try Bach Flower essences to treat the emotional reasons for his pain. After a bit of research on the Bach Flowers website, we settled on a blend of Holly, Cherry Plum, Wild Rose, and Impatins. After all, Bach remedies will do no harm, even combined with medications, so he had nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Fortunately, I have the entire set of 38 Bach Flower Essences on my shelf, so he started treatment right away.

Deciding on a 2-pronged approach to the problem, he also started drinking cherry juice.

Which one cured the gout? Or was it the combination of Bach Flower Remedies, cherry juice, and the energy he was focusing on healing?

In contrast to this natural means of healing is our neighbor. He suffered a severe gout attack some time in the summer of 1967. His doctor prescribed a remedy, which worked, but advised that he needed to take it religiously in order to avoid a future attack. That man has been taking that prescription every morning now for almost 45 years!

I don't know about you, but that doesn't sound at all appealing to me.

Treating Physical Disease With Bach Flower Remedies

This week a friend is suffering from gout. He's the kind of man who usually looks to a medical doctor (and a pill) rather than his own actions and energies for help, but since this hurts, he decided to look a little farther.

First he read the natural health books and discovered that he should be drinking cherry and cranberry juice, and should be avoiding some of the other things in his diet. http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif

Then, because Feel5ive has helped him through some rough days, he asked me about Bach Flower Remedies.

We started with Louise Hay's book, Heal Your Body, and saw that gout is a symptom of "The need to dominate, impatience, and anger."

This made sense, knowing my friend's personality and knowing the things going on in his life. He holds some anger from the past, but it is intensified by some unpleasant current events - which he's helpless to change.

After a bit of research on the Bach Flowers website, he decided on a blend of Holly, Cherry Plum, Wild Rose, and Impatins.

Now - if he'll just remember to use it and to do the mental work of trying to become at peace with himself and others... that gout shouldn't stand a chance.
